light year to parsec
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to parsec [pc], or change ↔.
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the light year was introduced in the early 20th century to describe astronomical distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is not a measure of time but of distance.
parsec [pc]
Definition: A parsec is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years.
Historyandorigin: The term 'parsec' comes from 'parallax of one arcsecond.'
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the distances to stars.
funfact: One parsec is approximately 3.26 light years.

How to Convert light year to parsec
1 light year [ly] = 0.3066013938 parsec [pc]
1 parsec [pc] = 3.2615637769 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → parsec [pc]
1 → 0.3066013938
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.3066013938=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.4599020907
